Quebec’s Permanent Immigration Pilot Programs
Quebec’s minister of immigration responded to the possible shortage of employees by announcing at least three pilot projects to provide a permanent residence path for employees with essential skillsets for post-lockdown economic recovery.

Second Permanent Immigration Pilot Program
According to Nadine Girault, Quebec’s Minister of Immigration, the Permanent Immigration Pilot Program for Orderlies will target 550 applicants annually.
